The Cooper Union Climate Coalition presents an exhibition featuring work from across Cooper's art, architecture, and engineering schools that grapples with ways of fixing and coping with the current Climate Crisis. This diverse survey of work by students, faculty, and staff addresses space, environment, ecologies, systems, nature, destruction, and potential solutions to process and combat the approaching denouement of human life.

The opening reception is on Tuesday, October 3 from 6:00 PM–8:00 PM.

The exhibition is on view in the 6th Floor Foundation Building lobby.
